Horse camp helps Equine Rescue League
Cortney Cunningham, 11, of Hamilton, and Hailey Grace Voell, 10, of Leesburg, know a lot about horses. This summer they put that to use to raise money for the Equine Rescue League.
They invited all their friends to a daily horse camp at the Voell family's farm south of Leesburg. For just $20 a day, a camper could get up close with a real horse and learn everything from keeping the horse clean and happy to riding it.
The girls delivered the $720 they raised to the Equine Rescue League in Lovettsville. Both love horses and are avid riders and members of the Loudoun Hunt Pony Club. They wanted to do their part to support the league's mission of rescuing and rehabilitating neglected and abused equines.
The campers learned about grooming, feeding, tacking up (putting the saddle and bridle and other gear on), barn safety, riding fundamentals and horse anatomy.
Cortney's white pony "volunteered" for the campers to point out his various body parts with finger paint.
